Retired scientist; left-handed like zDNA helix. Atheist. Veteran. Socially liberal but fiscally conservative (don't like wasting money) but very different priorities than most those that claim fiscal conservatism. Love 'the squad'; despise the leadership.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Any Dem that caves for meaningless concessions - should lose their job people - I don't care what state you're from ... eliminate them! Abolish ICE, take all their weapons before you kick them out the door & then ... permanently ban each from future employment in any form of LE-related job!

This is critical to understand: Russell Vought is limiting the number of grants funded per year, so multi-year funding is a means to de facto cuts.
precisely this
OMB’s push for multi-year funding (MYF) is an accounting fiction designed to kill the most promising and novel science in its infancy

Just spoke to The Hill about how the dismantling of the NIH is impacting science in America. We still face a cliff of unfathomable heights, w easily 1000+ labs poised to close in the next year due to funding ending. A generation of young scientists lost because there is nowhere for them to train.

This, right here 🎯💯. I’ve been trying to communicate this to people, as a native 🇨🇦, for a year now. Again, the fact that this wasn’t immediately seen as a presidency-ending, beyond-the-pale thing for all 535 Congresspeople, the media, & the public is deeply ugly & shameful for us as a country.

Arrest. Try. Convict. Imprison (for life without the possibility of parole). All of them!
"The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first attack on a 'drug boat,' killing 11 ... the laws of armed conflict prohibit combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries into dropping their guard, then killing them. That is a war crime."

Abolish ICE; I know... I know but that's really insuffient. We need to abolish the organization but also ban anyone employed there at this point in time from EVER working in ANY form of Law Enforcement (including Mall secirity guards or security guards in general).
